Though I know we'd all like to(:

Please Review and don't just put it on alert.
"It's like I have no idea what to do anymore. I've tried everything!"
"Shane, you tried once." Nate sat on the couch in Brown's cabin next to Jason and Tess.
"Tess you said, the next approach we take is the Pajama Jam tonight. But I don't know if I can do that." Shane began pacing desperately, literally going insane.
"Dude Tess?"
Shane paused for a moment. Yeah it seemed... a bit out of the ordinary, but he was willing to do anything. "Yeah." Nervously shuffling his feet he cast his gaze downward.
"And what's wrong with that?" Tess sat up straighter and glared.
"Dude your a bitch."
"That is so not true! Shane do you think I'm a bitch?" Both Tess and Nate turned towards Shane and he began to pace again.
"Get out."
"What?" Both voices rang out in clear confusion.
"All three of you, out." Shane ushered them out the door. Groaning he sat on the couch laying his hands on his head. There was no way he could keep this up.

"So uh that song. It was pretty good." Caitlyn forced a smile upon her lips, attempting to drown out any nervousness in her voice.
"Well I mean, you would have to hear him." Mitchie rose from the bed.
"Oh I'm sure I probably have." Caitlyn's smile faded, just slightly. "Hey maybe he'll sing at Pajama Jam tonight."
"Maybe. But, if he was there... I could sing. Show him how good I am... impress him even?" Mitchie asked, all kinds of different ideas shooting off in her head.
"You can't. We're expelled from all activities for a week." Caitlyn crushed her soda can and placed it in the trash.
Mitchie groaned and laid down. Her hands over her face.
"Well I don't see why we couldn't go and just watch." Caitlyn offered with an unsure smile.
"Caitlyn your amazing!" Mitchie jumped up from the bed and gave the petite girl a hug.
"Well it starts in thirty so if we're going to make it we better hurry." Caitlyn stated looking down at the small white watch placed around her wrist.
"So I guess I'll meet you back here in twenty?" Mitchie offered heading towards the door.
"Sounds good." Caitlyn smiled. She hated when her and Mitchie were fighting. It had happened last year too. Though Mitchie didn't remember she sure did. Which made it all the more better that Mitchie had come to her with the news about... Well Shane.
--
Shane didn't pay much attention to the "Pajama Jam" concept. As most guys didn't. He simply pulled on a black t-shirt over his jeans and was ready.
"Shane?" A soft knock was heard at his bedroom door.
"Yeah?"
Brown opened the door and Shane took a seat on his bed.
"Look you can't participate but it'd be nice if you came down and watched the other campers." Brown leaned against the door frame.
"Look I'm going. There's nothing to worry about."
"Unless she's there right?" He knew he was pushing a touchy subject, but he wanted to know more about what happened.
"No. It doesn't matter if she's there or not. I could care less." He tried very hard to make himself sound confident. But his uncle did make a good point. Unless she was there.
"What happened between the two of you? You guys were doing fine up until this morning." Brown pushed it further, trying to get as much information out of his nephew as he could.
"Look, she made it clear she wanted nothing to do with me. It's fine. If that's what she wants then I'll leave her alone." Shane began messing with various objects around his room, as if looking for something but was unsure of what exactly he was looking for.
"Because you love her."
"No. Because it's for the better." Shane nervously grabbed a guitar pick and toyed with it, moving it between his fingers.
"Because you love her?" He asked once more.
"No because-"
"You love her?" He finished for Shane, a sly grin upon his lips.
"Fine! Yes because I loved her. But not anymore." Shane stood up and pushed past his uncle who was grinning broadly. That little piece of information was all he needed to know.

Mitchie slid on red plaid pajama pants and a black tank. Combing through her hair she decided she was ready.
"Mitchie honey please just talk to me." Connie tossed a pair of jeans onto the bed.
Turning around Mitchie looked to her dumbfounded, "There's nothing to talk about."
"Honey, you know I'm really sorry. I want more than anything for you to be happy but you just can't see him. It's for the better." Connie walked closer to her daughter, cautious not to get to close.
"It's fine. He's not a part of my life anymore." Mitchie shrugged, this being the first time she talked to her mom in a few days. An uncomfortable silence was luminescent and Mitchie headed towards the door.
She walked alone for quite awhile. Basically every camper had already retired to Pajama Jam and the trails were empty.
"Mitchie!" Caitlyn smiled broadly greeting her friend. "You ready?"
"Definitely." Mitchie returned the smile and linked arms with her friend as they walked down to the Rec room.
--
"Are you ready?!" Brown grinned bigger than ever as the overwhelmed crowd of teens cheered and jumped up and down. "Now please welcome to the stage our very own Tess Tyler, with Mamma Mia!"
Some hesitated but most cheered for the blond idol. Shane had an amused look on his face, standing near the back he could see everything perfectly... even a certain girl with dark auburn hair.
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I can see everything, w-o-o-o-oh
Caitlyn and Mitchie stood towards the front. Though they had to admit it was different from other songs she usually sang (Probably because it had been done before by some artists on the radio) it seemed like Tess was challenging Mitchie. Constantly dancing in front of them. Though the sure fire sign was the hand motion that told her to even dare come up on stage.
"Mitchie go up there!" Caitlyn attempted to shout over the music.
"What?! I can't I'm not allowed to. Besides if Brown-"
Without taking no for an answer Caitlyn pushed her up on stage, loving the reaction it gave Tess.
(B Mitchie U Both) Hesitantly grabbing a microphone she tried catching on the tune.
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Tess smiled daring Mitchie to take another step. The reaction from the crowd was insane, yet Brown couldn't help but watch the battle that had stirred up.
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Finally finding her opening, Mitchie confidently took the high note.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.
Mitchie turned to the crowd who was cheering madly for her victory, after all who wanted Tess to win?
Both girls danced their hearts out during the musical breaks that filled the song.
I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
Tess gave Mitchie a apologetic smile, as if she was about to kick her so far down Mitchie would never know what hit her.
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong.
At that point... she felt that maybe there was a chance she had been singing this song for Shane. Like the lyrics were supposed to tell him something. Oh and believe me he noticed. He looked at her oddly as if studying each word over and over.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
One word seemed to stick out of the whole song. Forget. It really did apply to real life...
Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Tess gave a slight grin, she refused to let Mitchie win. After all, she was the one who had brought on the competition in the first place.
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mitchie smiled broadly until speaking the very last word.
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you... go.
The word came out in a whisper as the song came to an end. Shane felt her eyes burning a hole through him, her gaze dead set on him. Why she had stumbled upon the very last words, she had no idea.
Campers cheered wildly as Tess proudly bowed. The noise grew louder and louder but around her the world was quiet, an image of blur upon her eyes which only allowed her to see a certain dark haired boy that had quietly been watching from the back. Their eyes seemed to lock in a stare, neither of them daring to look away.
"Mitchie!" Caitlyn's voice brought her back. Looking down at the smiling girl she took one more look up, only to see an empty space where he had once stood.
With that she ran off stage leaving a clue less Tess who remained bowing for the crowd.
--
Mitchie burst through the back doors as she searched through the dark landscape. "Shane!" She shouted knowing full well there was a very high chance he couldn't hear her. "Shane!" She attempted once more placing her hands on her forehead. Why she was even looking for him she had no idea.
"Yeah." A soft whisper was heard behind her. Hesitating she took a deep breath refusing to turn around. "Shane?"
No answer was heard. "Why did you go looking for him?" The voice was still in a whisper. Almost a bit... creepy. It sounded like Shane, but she had a feeling it wasn't.
"I- I don't know." She nervously replied, still facing forward. "I guess I just wanted to make sure he was okay." She turned around only to find... nothing. No one. She surely didn't imagine she was talking to someone... did she? A folded up piece of paper caught her eye. Cautiously picking it up she opened it revealing a few lyrics.
Your the missing piece I need
The song Inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Of course. Mystery man had come and gone once more. She couldn't help but wonder what he would have looked like had she turned around sooner. Just when it seemed like Shane had won her over, he stepped back in and blew her away again.
--
Why did he walk away? Obviously she hadn't known it wasn't him. Maybe he should have told her. But then again, she was trying to make sure he was okay, which struck him as odd. From what he learned she wanted nothing to do with him. But the love they shared through the song was undeniable.
Opening the door to his cabin he took off his jacket and placed it on the couch. Heading off to his room he collapsed on the floor. For some reason, it seemed like an oddly comfortable place at the moment.
Summer Memories
Shane raised a brow at this. Pulling the box from under his bed he quickly sat up, lifting the top from it. Of course, it was full of pictures and letters from two years ago. A few phone numbers were written on small pieces of paper.
A smile fell upon his lips as he looked through old photos that shot many memories back to him. Pictures of him and Caitlyn, Lola, Sean, Uncle Brown, Ella, and of course... Mitchie. She looked like a little kid in a candy store. Her face full of excitement and joy.
Shane felt a few tears stinging his eyes. He loved her. He still loved her. But none of that mattered, as far as she knew they had only met a few days ago. Which brought much pain to his heart.
Shuffling through the box he came to a small journal. Instantly after opening it a letter fell ou.
Shane
He recognized the handwriting, how could he not? Without hesitation he ripped open the letter. He was quite surprised he had never read it before.
Shane,
Thank you for the summer of a lifetime. It was amazing, and I'm glad that I was able to help you as you helped me. There's no way to describe how much I'll miss you as I can't believe its all coming to an end. But no matter where life takes us we'll meet again. That I'm sure of. Summer love is fleeting glimpse of eternity, a shooting star in the heavens. But they all have one thing in common, they end in a single flash. It brings much joy to me knowing that we grew in love together, learning from each other. I experienced the greatest moments of my life thanks to you. And if you read this letter and send me a response I'll promise to come to wherever you are no matter what it takes. I can only hope that you write back as soon as possible. Once you've done that I'm sure I'll never forget you or what we had. If I am to forget all I need is to hear your voice and I can assure you I'll come back. No matter what.
Mitchie
A/N: Ehh I didn't like this chapter. I don't think it was all that great. But please review(:
